Abstract Effective population size ( N e ) is a key concept in evolutionary and conservation biology. The western chimpanzee Pan troglodytes verus Critically Endangered taxon. In Guinea-Bissau, chimpanzees are mainly threatened by habitat loss, hunting diseases. Guinea-Bissau considered area for its conservation. Genetic tools have not yet been applied to inform management no estimates of obtained. this study, we use country’s range-wide microsatellite data five whole-genome sequences...
<title>Abstract</title> Campbell’s (<italic>Cercopithecus campbelli</italic>) and green monkeys (<italic>Chlorocebus sabaeus</italic>) are sympatric medium-sized West African guenons (tribe Cercopithecini) that generally understudied in most of their distribution. Both species ecological generalists globally considered non-threatened, but populations decreasing locally. National conservation management lacks baseline information on local primate species. <italic>C. campbelli Chl....
The West-African sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys) is threatened by habitat loss, hunting for meat consumption, and mortality during crop-foraging events. species' overall demographic trend unknown. Presence distribution in Guinea-Bissau, a country neighbored Senegal Republic of Guinea, was confirmed 1946 but the species declared extinct 1989 not observed subsequent countrywide expeditions. Narratives its presence across southern Guinea-Bissau are scattered reports occurrence eastern part...
In tropical forests, anthropogenic activities are major drivers of the destruction and degradation natural habitats, causing severe biodiversity loss. African colobine monkeys (Colobinae) mainly folivore strictly arboreal primates that require large forests to subsist, being among most vulnerable all nonhuman primates. The Western red colobus Piliocolobus badius King Colobus polykomos inhabit highly fragmented West including Cantanhez Forests National Park (CFNP) in Guinea-Bissau. Both...
Food distribution and abundance can affect intra- inter-dietary variation in non-human primates, influencing feeding ecology altering behaviour. Natural and/or human-induced actions influence the dynamics between primates environment, with associated impacts on socio-ecology demography. This relationship anthropogenic landscapes, however, is poorly understood. Here, we use DNA metabarcoding to obtain high resolution dietary diversity data, multivariate generalised linear models investigate...
